And the first brooch of 2019 is....the Gold Trellis! Worn on one of my favorite outfits. Not a bad start to the year at all.

In other news I suspect will be of interest to some, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were among The Queen's church party today. Let this be your official notification that Kate will still be headband-ing it up in 2019.
